I think it means being willing to receive the ball yards from your own goal surrounded by opponents. Doesn't matter if you fuck up and give a goal away as long as you are brave enough to try.

In addition he told the Echo that he was pleased with the way Aribo played!

Triffic! Bare bones innit.

Yeah because there aren't dozens of coaches around who would do a far better job then RM. Not many that could do worse though.

Clutching at straws - every team gets injuries, suspensions and all the other set-backs that happen. We can't blame those things on the mess we are in.

I think it's 3 rather than 4 because I don't believe we're still paying Selles.

If he walks away he misses out on a big pay-off. He won't do that and the big pay-off is the reason we are stuck with him.

Good points. RM knows he is failing and is trying to use the smoke screen that his methods are complicated and hard for the players to learn so it will take time. Quite frankly that is complete bullshit and is fooling very few fans. It's a bit of an insult to be honest as is this rubbish about scar tissue from last season. He's just making excuses and deflecting the flak he's getting because he knows he's been found out and doesn't know what to do next to extract us from the mess he's got us into. We look a shambles all over the pitch and there are no signs that he is capable of changing things to improve us. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with him.

It speaks volumes how little support there is for RM on here.

That really is quite worrying but nothing we haven't been expressing - hearing it said so candidly by an opposition player just confirms our suspicions. RM has made us very predictable and so easy to play against.

Let me assure you, you have 20-20 vision, nothing wrong with your eyesight.

That's a disgrace.

Did it prevent him knowing how to pass the ball or clear it without it going under his foot? Interesting how much of their basic skills professional footballers lose because they have not trained with their team.

07703836869 Exactly this. You cannot play out from the back if your midfield players are hiding - they need to show for the ball to give the centre backs options. We start the process by Baz bowling the ball out to a CB but it ends there because nobody makes any attempt to move into space from midfield so it very quickly breaks down.

From what was said when he was appointed the idea is to build a side and system that will get us promoted with a better chance of staying in the Premier League when we get there. Personally I think it's a plan with zero chance of succeeding from what I've seen. The idea might have some merit but RM is not the manager to do it.

I'll be amazed if we win. A draw at best judging by our current form and the manager's ineptitude.

Adam Armstrong as the lone striker 🙂

Absolute nonsense - we should have been 3-0 down at half time.

What are the 3 previous managers doing now? One is playing golf, the second is doing a bit of TV punditry and the third is managing Reading who currently occupy a relegation spot in Division 1. Not exactly glowing endorsements and no clubs of note have beaten a path to their door since they left us. This suggests to me that we were right to change them - the problem is that we haven't appointed replacements well for successive coaches we've fired. That's got nothing to do with the players and I'm as certain as I can be that a good appointment would make a world of difference to the way we play and our results.

Done well it draws out the opposition and then you hit the spaces created quickly in transition and break in numbers on your opponents - watch Brighton. We don't do it correctly and I'm not sure RM has the nous to coach it - he's not convinced me he has much of a clue about even the basics so I think him trying to coach us to play out from the back is too much of a stretch.

Because his team mates weren't showing for the ball. I lost count of the number of times we gave the ball away simply because there was zero movement. Pass and move, the basic foundation on which everything else is built and RM can't get his team doing it. Staggering.

Dragan is the bloke putting his hard earned on the line not anybody at SR. If I were them I'd be thinking fuck loss of pride, we'll be feeling the wrath of Dragan again if we don't sort this out quick.

Sulemana is better through the middle as he demonstrated against Liverpool. He causes few problem for the opposition as a winger not least because crosses are a waste of time.

There is no shop window - it closed recently.
